4015.12.90.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 4015.12.90.00, specifically covers "Other" gloves, mittens, and mitts of vulcanized rubber, designed for all purposes, that are not of a kind used for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary purposes. This means the scope is broad and encompasses any rubber handwear not falling into the more specialized categories.

The crucial distinction of this category lies in its exclusion of items intended for healthcare or animal care. Unlike its sibling category, 4015.12.10, which enumerates gloves for medical or surgical use, this category pertains to rubber handwear intended for industrial, domestic, sporting, or general protective applications. The material must be vulcanized rubber, and the form factor must be gloves, mittens, or mitts.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 4015.12.90.00 is determined by the absence of the specific end-use criteria of the other subcategories within 4015.12. The primary considerations for classification here would be the material (vulcanized rubber) and the absence of a stated medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary purpose, distinguishing it from the more narrowly defined categories.
